I have recovered nicely from mine 4 weeks ago. Like you I had little to no pain after the first couple of days. By week two I felt pretty normal. I am very grateful that I recovered well like I did the first time around.

I am 6 days pp and feel pretty good. With three kids rest has been a bit of a challenge, but I have maintained pain with Tylenol and limited Motrin, no prescription meds. So glad to be recovering so quickly!

I'm 9 days out and feeling great! My stomach is just a little bruised feeling still, but from getting my tubes tied, not the c-section. The swelling in my legs, feet and lower abdomen is finally starting to go down, thank goodness.

All in all, this was a much better experience and easier recovery from my first vaginal birth. No complications at all like last time! :)

I am 16 days pp c-section and also had my tubes tied. this is my second c-section and have had the fastest and most amazing recovery ever, I have not drank pain pills since 5 days pp. no longer bleeding and have no pain my incision site feels numb still but everything is great.

I'm almost 3 weeks pp and feeling pretty good. I get sore every few days, but for the most part I'm not even taking the pain pills anymore. Definitely feeling way better than I thought I would after a c-section.

Today is 2 weeks for me. My surgery was very extensive and my incision dehisced (opened). I have to clean my incision out twice/day with hydrogen peroxide and I can feel the dissolvable staples in my subcutaneous tissue. It definitely is still painful. I am doing alright though. Laundry/dishes/etc. I have been off Percocet wince about day 7 and haven't had to even take any Tylenol or Motrin for the past 2 days so that's good. I see my Dr tomorrow and I hope I can find out how long he anticipates it will be until my incision closes up. I would really like to swim before the end of this summer.

So I'm alright, not recovering nearly as quickly as I did with my first but I'm going to make it through. 😉
